"Toot ~~ Toot ~~"

Every two seconds, the unmanned reconnaissance ship's fine detection picture will be fully refreshed, and the content displayed is nothing abnormal, except for the dark and narrow cloud bay passage, which is the faint clues left by the reconnaissance ship.

At this time, the Xinghai had completely withdrawn from Yunwan, and the unmanned exploration ship had penetrated into Yunwan at a distance of about 15 light minutes.

Even at this distance, the Yunwan passage remained unchanged, and no reconnaissance ships were found, and the internal space of Yunwan did not suddenly become larger, but became narrower and narrower, and it looked like it was about to disappear.

"Mentor, could this reconnaissance ship be attacked by the Starry Sky Beast and flee into the Dark Nebula in a panic?" Wind chimes speculate.

"It's a possibility." Zhang Yuan nodded.

The "Du~" probe ship sent back the detection picture again, which showed that about 10 light-seconds away in front was a dense nebula, and there was no hidden passage in the nebula obstacle, which completely blocked the way forward.

Obviously, this is already the end of Cloud Bay.

Detection clues showed that the reconnaissance ship did not slow down without slowing down, and rushed all the way to the dark nebula, completely disappearing.

"Really ran into the nebula." Feng Chime was a little stunned, the reconnaissance ship of the imperial capital did not have the ability to fly in the dark nebula, and there was no difference between entering the dark nebula and seeking death.

Originally, the search mission of the unmanned ship should have ended here, but Zhang Yuan was still a little uneasy, and after thinking about it, he sent an order to the unmanned exploration ship: "Start the Nebula flight mode and enter the Nebula to search for the wreckage of the reconnaissance ship." ”

Feng Chime was stunned: "Mentor, do you suspect that there will be a cavity in the nebula?" ”

Although the dark nebula looks very dense, the distribution of dark energy and dark matter inside is not completely uniform, and there are some safe zones.

It's like a sea where the sea takes up most of the space, but there are some bubbles.

The Earth Federation's verdant valley base is set up inside such a nebula cavity, and the entry and exit of warships depends on quantum jumps. The verdant valley is safe and secretive, and has so far gone undetected by non-human races.

The Arcturus Nebula has a range of tens of light years, and it is not surprising that some cavities appear in such a huge space, and once these cavities are used by the imperial capital, it is a very safe secret military base, which can pose a huge threat to Heyue.

After receiving the order, the unmanned probe ship turned off the conventional propulsion engine, rushed into the nebula by inertia, and at the same time turned on the special engines and probes inside the nebula, all the way to search for the wreckage of the reconnaissance ship.

It looked carefully here, and Wang Qianyuan and the others who set up a bureau on the other side were a little blind.

It was true that the reconnaissance ship they used as bait flew into the dark nebula, but the reconnaissance ship was not suitable for flying inside the nebula, and after entering the nebula, with the help of the protective force field, it flew less than 5 light seconds before starting the quantum engine and jumping and flashing.

Therefore, there are actually no reconnaissance ships inside the Nebula.

Then the problem arises, this unmanned probe ship follows the traces all the way, and soon the jump traces will be found. With Kawagoe's general caution, he will definitely analyze the quantum field data at the time of the jump and continue to track the reconnaissance ship.

With the maneuverability of the Xinghai, it was difficult for the reconnaissance ship to escape the pursuit, and in this process, as long as the governor of Heyue had a trace of suspicion in his heart and left a few prisoners for torture, there was a high probability that the clues of the siege plan would be discovered.

The Nine Heavenly Demon immediately contacted Wang Qianyuan: "Where is that reconnaissance ship now?" ”

"10 light years away, I haven't left Heyue yet." Wang Qianyuan replied, he also knew what the problem was, and immediately continued: "I will immediately order it to return to the Doji Star Province, the time should be urgent. ”

The Nine Heavenly Demon smiled: "General Wang, this is a way for you. But why don't we take the opportunity to set things up? ”

"Huh?" Wang Qianyuan was stunned.

The Nine Heavenly Demon said, "Tell me the location of that reconnaissance ship, and I'll bring the bait over right now." When the governor of Hakoe catches up, we will start the plan. ”

Wang Qianyuan frowned: "My imperial capital warriors can't sacrifice in vain. ”

"It's the best way!" The Nine Heavenly Demon immediately said: "If you think about it carefully, the one surnamed Zhang must not be wary when he saw his old friend appear and helped Heyue destroy a reconnaissance ship. He's sure to be in a hurry to catch up with his old friends. This is our great opportunity! ”

Wang Qianyuan was still a little reluctant: "Are you sure this will happen?" ”

Nine Heavenly Demon Leon smiled: "I'm sure." The woman in my hand once guided the surnamed Zhang into the starlit land, guided him from a virgin to a man, and trained him in hand-to-hand combat skills, and was also a teacher and friend, and an old lover. What would you do if it were you? ”

"Okay. However, the woman herself is fine, right? Wang Qianyuan was still a little worried.

Leon smiled: "Don't worry about that. I've brainwashed her, and all memories of the past have been erased. She can't have any feelings for the surname Zhang now. Also, just in case, I also installed a controller in her head, and she is now simply a puppet with no possibility of losing control. ”

Wang Qianyuan was silent, and after a few seconds, he nodded: "War is inevitable to sacrifice, and dying on the battlefield is also the fate of a soldier." I'll arrange it now. ”

................

On the other side, the unmanned probe followed the trail to the jump point, and it began to detect the detailed data of the sub fluctuation around the jump point.

Inside the Star Ocean.

Zhang Yuan looked at the data sent back by the unmanned probe ship, pinched his chin, and said, "Escape into the dark nebula, jump and escape." The captain of this reconnaissance ship was very bold. But after all, there is no escape. ”

Ten minutes later, the main control brain of Xinghai completed the data analysis and obtained the result: "The relative azimuth vector of the target (76,281,82), with an error of 0.2%, does it jump?" ”

"Jump!" Zhang Yuan immediately gave an order, racing against seconds on the battlefield, as for the unmanned exploration ship, it was too late to recover it, so it could only carry out the self-destruction order.

The "Hum~" quantum engine was activated, and the holographic screen of the Star Ocean battleship became vast, and after lasting about 3 seconds, it returned to dark space.

"Jump complete!"

Zhang Yuan issued a new order step by step: "Launch a curvature acceleration wave to detect the trajectory of the target." ”

About 5 seconds after the command was given, Xinghai received feedback waves from various probes, but the effect of the feedback was somewhat unusual.

"According to common sense, there should be 64 detectors receiving our acceleration waves, and the current positive feedback is 17, so there should be 47 zero feedback. But now there are only 27 zero feedback, and there are 20 fewer detectors, which is a bit less. Zhang Yuan frowned slightly.

After the curvature acceleration wave is emitted, positive feedback means that there are flying objects passing around the probe, and zero feedback means that there are no flying objects passing by, but the probe is operating normally. If there is no feedback, the detector is damaged.

Normally, the detectors in an airspace will basically operate normally, occasionally one or two less, these are normal imaginations, and now, there are 20 fewer in an airspace, Zhang Yuan has to suspect that someone is specifically clearing the detectors.

The wind chime on the side was also pondering: "The detector is very secretive, and it is difficult for the Imperial Capital Reconnaissance Ship to find it unless it is lucky." There are 20 fewer at once, and it must be manned warships with ultra-high detection performance that are specifically clearing detectors. There are two possibilities for this, one is that the imperial capital realizes our home field advantage and begins to deal with our intelligence network. Second, there are people who want to conceal information. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, and he reasoned along the wind chimes: "If it is just to deal with our intelligence network, then the best route to clear it should be to start from the border of Heyue Province and advance all the way in, but this is not the case now, but there is only one piece missing in a specific area, so there is a chance that someone wants to hide something." ”

Extrapolating this, Zhang Yuan already had some thoughts in his heart: "Wind chime, you say, could Wang Qianyuan use this battleship as bait to set up an ambush for us?" ”

"It's possible. However, his Longsword has only been destroyed for 3 days, and a battleship of that performance, even with the industrial strength of the imperial capital, it is impossible to build a new one so quickly, right? The intelligence inquired by Commander Lu showed that the imperial capital had built a Longsword, and the news of the damage of the Longsword was reported back to the Taijin Star Domain, and Chu Mutian was greatly furious. And without a high-performance warship like the Longsword, how could Wang Qianyuan dare to venture into Heyue? ”

The idea of wind chimes is not unreasonable, in fact, Zhang Yuan can't figure out what hole cards Wang Qianyuan has?

"This old guy was yin by me, is he angry and crazy? It's not right, how can a person who can become a god of war be so psychologically fragile? ”

"Or did he go to foreign help? Who can be his foreign aid? Castle in the sky? Aum Empire? None of this is likely. Is that the Kingdom of Dark Shura or the Dark Assassin? Lord of Darkness? It's a bit of a possibility. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan asked the Xinghai Master Brain to analyze the data, and at the same time contacted Lu Meng, and after connecting, he asked directly: "Commander Lu, I need the news of the Nine Heavenly Demons of the War God of the Dark Shura Kingdom, I want the latest." ”

There was a pause in the communication, it should be Lu Meng sorting out the information, and after about 2 minutes, she said: "2 days ago, the Nine Heavenly Demons, the god of war of the Dark Shura Kingdom, had a confrontation with Edward in the Giant Beast Star Domain, but there was no war. From various clues, it is highly likely that he is now inside the Dark Shura Kingdom. ”

"Well, what about Dark Heaven? What's been happening lately? Zhang Yuan asked again.

"Since the last assassination of Blue Mercury, the actions of the Dark Paradise have been very low-key, and there are almost no clues about the Dark Paradise Assassins in the Rivers and Rivers, and there are few assassination cases involving the Dark Paradise Assassins in the Aum territory. Oh yes, since the last incident of Blue Mercury, the Apostles of Light have believed that the Dark Heaven has no bottom line, and has taken hundreds of millions of civilians as hostages, greatly increasing the pursuit of the Dark Heaven. After comprehensive analysis, I believe that the threat level of the Netherheaven is low. ”

Lu Meng's analysis is reasonable and well-founded, and Zhang Yuan agrees with it very much, but the starry sky is vast and boundless, and Lu Meng's intelligence network cannot be completely flawless, and Zhang Yuan still has a trace of vigilance in his heart.

Since it is basically impossible for the God of War level masters of the Dark Heaven and the Dark Shura Kingdom to appear, if Wang Qianyuan wants to deal with him, he can only rely on a large number of red-clothed dragon guards to besiege him.

This move can pose a threat to Zhang Yuan, the ants bite the elephant to death, and after the number of red-clothed dragon guards exceeds a number, with the strength of the Xinghai alone, they may not be able to fight head-on.

However, there is no way to fight head-on, and the Xinghai can turn around and run away!

Thinking about it like this, Zhang Yuan relaxed slightly. It just so happened that the main control brain of the Xinghai had also completed the analysis, and on the way, the escape path of a reconnaissance ship was clearly displayed, and the other party was now 14 minutes away in front of the Xinghai.

What else to say, Zhang Yuan immediately ordered: "Turn on the warp engine and catch up!" ”

"Buzz~" The battleship shook slightly, and its speed suddenly increased to 500C, and the holographic screen showed that the distance between the two warships was shrinking at an alarming speed.

After 1 second, Zhang Yuan realized that something was wrong: "The target speed is very low, the trajectory is fluctuating, is this a battle?" ”

The main control brain immediately began to analyze, and after 2 seconds, the analysis results came to the conclusion: "Judging from the trajectory, the target combat object is very likely to be a mecha warrior, and the number is only one." ”

"Entangled by a MechWarrior?" Zhang Yuan looked at the disciple Feng Chime beside him, although the Feng Chime is young, but his brain is very good, he has been following Zhang Yuan recently, and has become Zhang Yuan's right-hand man.

"Those who can deal with reconnaissance ships alone are at least Doomsday-class fighters. This man is attacking an Imperial scout ship, so he has no ill will towards us....... I'll get in touch to take a look. ”

The wind chime sent a contact signal, and after a few seconds, she turned to Zhang Yuan and said, "Contact failed, judging from the feedback data, it's not a blue warrior." ”

"Who could it be?" Zhang Yuan was a little strange.

At this moment, a strange female voice suddenly came from the communication of the Xinghai: "Grand Governor, I can meet you here, what a coincidence." ”

Wind Chime listened a little confused: "Mentor, she seems to know you." ”

Zhang Yuan's heart was slightly shocked, he had already recognized the identity of the voice owner: "Yu Linglong, why are you here?" ”
